Yesterday my hubby and fam played at The Broken Sprocket, an awesome food truck park in Brownsville. I rarely get to see the band play because it’s usually late at night and/or at bars where kids aren’t welcome. But the Broken Sprocket is family friendly and the grommies love it. If you haven’t checked out…
Did you know my husband is a fishing guide on South Padre Island? He charters bay trips on the Laguna Madre in search of trout, drum, flounder, and more. He has been a Captain for two years now and a deckhand for many many years before that. One of his dreams is to own a…
Over the weekend we drove up to San Antonio for one of my family’s favorite traditions. The weekend after Thanksgiving, we all go ride the train through Brackenridge Park in San Antonio. My grandpa would take my father when he was a kid, my dad took me, and now I’m taking my own! Pretty trippy!…

On Thanksgiving day we lounged around the house and made a ThanksVegan fest. We had sweet potato red lentil curry soup to start, stuffed acorn squash as the main course, and sweet apple pie for dessert. The next morning we woke up and drove to San Antonio to complete our annual tradition- riding on the…
August has arrived and Summer seems to be wrapping up around our little island. The days are getting shorter. Kids are starting to start school back up. It almost never even felt like summer now that I work a 9 to 5. But we made it to the beach as much as possible, and I…

I keep finding myself starting at Damo in awe of how big he’s getting. His little mind is always ticking and I can see it in his eyes. He is discovering so much of the world around him. Some of his favorite things to do right now are stack blocks, throw balls and chase them…
